Karen: I doubt you can add a PDF viewer to a scrolling region. Anyway, it would be awfully tiny.
How about this: 1. Put the scrolling region on the form. 2. Locate a PDF viewer to the right of the scrolling region, but outside it. 3. Update the viewer whenever the user changes rows. This lets the user see the PDF for the current line "full size" on the same screen as the other data. -- Larry ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, December 22, 2010 5:21:21 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - PDF files as data? I have experience with having jpg files stored in the database or stored outside the database and being displayed on forms and reports. But this client wants to use PDF files! These PDF files are always going to be just one page, size around 50K. They will always be in a particular directory, and called by the part# so I can easily figure out which to associate. The biggest problem is that they want to be able to display the PDF file in a scrolling region. Is that possible?? In any version (they are in 7.6 now)? If so, which control. I realize I can put a button with a "view PDF file" but he preferred it to be right there in the row. And I'm assuming I can display a PDF file in a report although I haven't had to do that yet. He said he would be willing to convert the PDFs to JPGs but doesn't know how. Any utility (maybe even command line driven) that can do this? Karen
